Light Therapy

Since the '80s, light therapy has been used in the equine community to treat injuries or skin conditions as well as helping owners keep their horses in top shape. It is sometimes referred to as red light therapy, Phototherapy, LED therapy, Photon Therapy, or Red/Infrared Therapy.
 
LED light therapy is a non-invasive way to help the body heal itself. It uses distinct wavelengths to increase blood flow to help reduce inflammation, prevent illnesses, and speeds up the healing process. Additionally, it enhances the distribution of nutrients and supplements throughout the body.
 
This painless and very effective therapy is safe for all animals as well as humans and can provide benefits to:

• Soft tissue injuries

• Tendon problems

• Cuts, scrapes, or wounds

• Salivary gland problems

• Arthritis pain

• Back pain

• Neck pain

• Hip pain

• Shoulder pain

• Sprains and strains

• Stifle issues

 
Our barn manager, Penny Meno, uses this technology to treat a wide variety of conditions.  If you’re looking to improve the quality and care of your horse, contact Riverbend Equestrian Center today for more information on how we can help!
